@ Wash,

true - not so critical data maybe on these site. HOWEVER, I join Mblayo in taking the shame because it is matter of time before critical data seats on these platforms/cloud. And if we can protect our entry level websites, then who knows who will protect our serious data in the near future...

It is one thing to be brought down - it happens even to US DoD (military). It quite another to stay down - 12hrs and still counting?

Vincent and Company @ CCK, arent we paying you public chums to run the National CSIRT protect our cyberspace? Or maybe we should get NSIS to blame? Either way I want my refund ;-)
